  • Fadwa Tuqan the Poet of Love and Pain (1917 - 2003)
    FADWA TUQAN THE POET OF LOVE AND PAIN (1917 - 2003) “Enough for Me Enough for me to die on her earth Be buried in her To melt and vanish into her soil Then sprout forth as a flower Played with by a child from my country” Excerpt from Enough For Me, 1969 The poet Fadwa Tuqan witnessed so much. Born in 1917 in Palestine under British rule, she lived through Britain’s issuance of the Balfour Declaration, the Nakba in 1948, the 1967 war and beginning of the Israeli occupation, the 1993 Oslo Accords and the formation of the Palestinian Authority, the initial construction of Israel’s Apartheid Wall, and two Intifadas. Born into a deeply conservative household in the city of Nablus, Fadwa rejected any customs she felt stifled her pursuit of knowledge. She learned to write poetry at an early age from her talented brother Ibrahim, a famous poet himself. Her early work reflects a pioneering bravery in its candid accounts of femininity, love, and emotion. After the 1967 war and Israel’s occupation of the West Bank and Gaza, her poetry adopted a more overtly political tone, emphasizing anti-colonial resistance and the role of women in social protest. Israeli army general Moshe Dayan is known to have said that reading a poem by Tuqan was like facing 20 enemy commandos. [1] In 2003, Tuqan died of natural causes in her hometown as it was under Israeli siege. Today, she is considered to be among the most distinguished figures of modern Arabic literature, an indomitable writer and poet who defied patriarchy, colonization, and occupation to give voice to Palestinian national loss and resistance.

Kuwaiti rulers have often met their domestic and international security challenges with buying off the problems. This type of policy continued until late 1989, when the tension between Iraq and Kuwait reached a new height. The turning point for Kuwait security was 2 August 1990, when Iraqi military finally invaded Kuwait. Felt betrayal by Saddam, whom they helped during the Iran-Iraq War, Kuwait requested the military power of the United States.

  • Saudi Human Genome Program Building a Foundation for Personalized Medicine
    Saudi Human Genome Program Building a Foundation for Personalized Medicine Brian Meyer, PhD What is Personalized Medicine? • The ability to determine an individual's unique molecular characteristics – to use those genetic distinctions to diagnose more finely an individual's disease – select treatments that increase the chances of a successful outcome – reduce possible adverse reactions. • Personalized medicine also is the ability to predict an individual's susceptibility to diseases and thus to try to shape steps that may help avoid or reduce the extent to which an individual will experience a disease. What does it require? • Essential features for personalized medicine to be a fully functioning reality at the clinical level include: – an electronic medical record – personalized genomic data – physician access to electronic decision support tools – personalized treatments – personal clinical information available for research use Why Personalized Medicine? • The past decade has seen a revolution in human genetics – it is having a very significant impact on virtually all specialties of medicine • Several scientific advances are responsible for this revolution – First is the recognition and validation that the genetic composition of individuals play a significant role in that individual's health and predisposition to common diseases such as heart disease and cancer. – Second is the availability of the human genome sequence and the many high throughput technologies developed and advanced during and since the Human Genome Project. – Third is the imminent ability to completely sequence and analyze the human genome in real time at relatively low cost.

  • Voicing the Voiceless: Feminism and Contemporary Arab Muslim Women's Autobiographies
    VOICING THE VOICELESS: FEMINISM AND CONTEMPORARY ARAB MUSLIM WOMEN'S AUTOBIOGRAPHIES Taghreed Mahmoud Abu Sarhan A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY December 2011 Committee: Ellen Berry, Advisor Vibha Bhalla Graduate Faculty Representative Radhika Gajjala Erin Labbie iii ABSTRACT Ellen Berry, Advisor Arab Muslim women have been portrayed by the West in general and Western Feminism in particular as oppressed, weak, submissive, and passive. A few critics, Nawar al-Hassan Golley, is an example, clarify that Arab Muslim women are not weak and passive as they are seen by the Western Feminism viewed through the lens of their own culture and historical background. Using Transnational Feminist theory, my study examines four autobiographies: Harem Years By Huda Sha’arawi, A Mountainous Journey a Poet’s Autobiography by Fadwa Tuqan, A Daughter of Isis by Nawal El Saadawi, and Dreams of Trespass, Tales of a Harem Girlhood by Fatima Mernissi. This study promises to add to the extant literature that examine Arab Muslim women’s status by viewing Arab women’s autobiographies as real life stories to introduce examples of Arab Muslim women figures who have effected positive and significant changes for themselves and their societies. Moreover, this study seeks to demonstrate, through the study of select Arab Muslim women’s autobiographies, that Arab Muslim women are educated, have feminist consciousnesses, and national figures with their own clear reading of their own religion and culture, more telling than that of the reading of outsiders.

Therefore, there can be no guarantee that an effective teaching method in one context would result in effective student learning in another. It is proved that Product/Guided Writing resulting in poor writers, and Process Writing dos not provide much care for metalinguistic feedback or enough time for negotiation as well. Following the stages of Innovated Writing Process (IWP), the instructor may be able to teach students many skills that may improve the quality of their writing as well as speaking. This paper presents the theoretical and practical linguistic shifting from Product/Guided Writing to Process Writing and recently to the Innovated Writing Process Approach in teaching writing for Second/Foreign Language Learners. It is indicated that metalinguistic feedback, error/contrastive analysis and the communicative interaction negotiating of meaning and form provided by the teacher lead to remarkable improve in second/foreign language learners’ written accuracy and fluency as well. Key words: Product/guided writing, Process writing, Innovated writing process, Metalinguistic feedback, Interaction, and Negotiation.
